Mordella sexmaculata, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, p. 263, America. 

 Ripiphorus 6-macu/atics, Fab. Ent. Syst. i. 2, 1792, p. 111. 



At the second reference cited the type is stated to be in 

 the Banks Collection, though no specimen now exists there. 

 The species is described with no reference to any earlier 

 work, but the description is almost word for word the same 

 as that of Mordella Q-maculata (1775), where the type is 

 stated to be in Dr. Hunter's Collection ; this is now in the 

 Glasgow University ^Museum. 



The species has been ])laced by Horn and subsequent 

 writers as a synonym of Macrosiagon pectinatum, Fab. (1775, 

 Mordella), described immediately before it (Mus. Dom. 

 Drmy).

25. Hoplocephala cornigera. 



Hispa cornigera, Fab. Spec. Ins, i, 1781, p, 82. Anglia. 



This type was overlooked by me in my notes on the types 

 of this family. 



The locality given by Fabricius and copied by Olivier 

 (Ent. iii. 1795, no. 55, p. 7) is eiToneous, a mistake that 

 caused Castelnau and Brull(^ to express doubt whether the 

 species described by them under this name from Cuba 

 (Ann. Sci. Nat. xxiii. p, 342) was identical with that of 

 Olivier, They do not appear to have noted that the error 

 arose with Fabricius himself. 



The following species, placed originally by Fabricius in the 

 Heteromerous genus Clstela, belong in reality to other 

 families. Some of them were removed from Cistela by 

 Fabricius himself in his later works, others have been 

 recognised and correctly placed by later writers, but some I 

 have not been able to trace in Gemmingcr and Plarold's 

 or Junk's Catalogues : —
